First time ever applying weather sealant myself - so easy and effective!
I wanted to seal my drafty aluminum apartment windows, which were making it cold in my living room and stressing the plants I had been keeping on the window sills. I had never done anything like that before, and everyone I asked about it locally was as clueless as me as to what to do. Because of COVID, I didn't want to ask the maintenance staff to come in and do it, as that didn't seem like a high-enough emergency/priority to risk getting COVID (many residents in my senior complex have had it, so more exposure for the maintenance staff).So I did as much research as I could to understand the process, how to measure, and what kind to get for the windows, and that led me eventually to this product. I bought enough for the double window in my living room and my door. After watching some how-to videos on YouTube, I finally got the courage to start cutting and applying it. I was shocked and laughing at myself at how quick and easy it was. Oh my. What was I feeling so intimidated about before? It's not rocket science LOL.After applying it, I could not believe the difference it made. Thankfully, it's already significantly quiet where I live in terms of "annoyance noises" - e. g., no loud music, relentless barking, or loud talking. But even so, there's still some ambient noise coming through the windows and hallway. After applying the sealant, the hallway (outside my door) noise is now just a faint muffle (before I could clearly hear what people were saying, even if they were just speaking in a normal voice), and the ambient noise outside my window cannot be heard at all.And equally important is the change in my room environment. I'm able to maintain a comfortable 73-degree temperature with the AC going on much less often than before. I also had been using three humidifiers to raise the humidity for my plants. Prior to getting the humidifiers, my average humidity ranged from 22 to low 30s in the winter and low 20s in the warmer weather (with the AC on). After getting the humidifiers and BEFORE applying the sealant, I struggled to get the humidity into the high 30s in the living room with THREE 2.2-liter humidifiers in that area. AFTER applying the sealant, I can easily get up to 55" and have been able to reduce the total run time of the humidifiers so that I can maintain my desired goal of 40-45.I have had the sealant on long enough now to see a reduction in my total kilowatt usage per month compared to the same time period and temperature years before. So I would say the sealant has paid for itself in utility savings and ambient comfort (temperature-wise and noise-wise).I should note that the windows and door already had sealant in place, but it was very thin and is likely about 15 years old (when this apartment was first built). I just applied this sealant right on top of the old stuff without ripping it off because it was a perfect fit to give a tight seal.I plan to move at some point hopefully in the near future to a more pedestrian-friendly location, and the apartments where I am on the waiting list are known for being "older, drafty" apartments with increased utility costs in the winter. You can bet I'll be coming back here to order more of this stuff as soon as I'm able to get into the "new" (to me) place, to cut down on those drafts and the utility bill!I'm a happy camper. :)

Perfect product
Bought this for my sliding glass door as I have a kitty door installed and needed to insulate, this stuff sticks and fits really well. Very easy to apply and cut to size. Has not moved at all since applied and is keeping the heat out. Would buy again, highly recommend.

Fantastic Adhesion
I purchased this for my shop door to close the gap and reduce the leaves and debris that blow through.I was able to easily apply and finish in a short time and when I noticed a small adjustment was necessary I was pleasantly surprised at how strong the adhesive was (I did clean the metal prior).

Easy to Use. Stuck well on smooth surface.
Used in an exterior application above hatches to shed rain along top hinged edge. Seemed to work well so far. Adhesive is strong but clear type not the black UHB type. Hope the adhesive stays stuck to silicone outdoors.
